Ingredients:

• 1 12 cups of finely grated sharp cheddar cheese
• ½ cup almond flour
• 2 tbsp cream cheese, softened
• 1 tsp dried rosemary (or herb of your choice)
• ¼ tsp garlic powder
• ¼ tsp onion powder
• ¼ tsp salt

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
   Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Cheese Mixture:
   In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese, almond flour, softened cream cheese, dried rosemary, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Mix well until the ingredients are thoroughly combined and a dough-like consistency forms.
3. Form the Dough:
   Place the dough mixture between two sheets of parchment paper. Roll out the dough to the appropriate thickness using a rolling pin. Thinner dough will result in crispier crackers.
4. Cut the Crackers:
   Remove the top layer of parchment paper and use a sharp knife or a pizza cutter to cut the dough into small square or rectangular cracker shapes. Don’t worry about making them perfect – rustic shapes add to their charm.
5. Transfer to Baking Sheet:
   Transfer the sliced crackers on the prepared baking sheet with care. You can leave a bit of space between them, but they won’t spread much during baking.
6. Bake the Crackers:
   Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the crackers turn golden brown at the edges.
7. Cool and Serve:
   Once baked, remove the crackers from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. Then will continue to crisp up as they cool.
8. Store and Enjoy:
   Once fully cooled, you can store these keto baked cheese crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for a few days. Enjoy them as a crunchy and satisfying low-carb snack!

Recipe Notes:

• Experiment using different herbs and spices to personalise the flavour of your crackers.
• Almond flour can be substituted with other nut flours like hazelnut flour or even flaxseed meal for variety.
• Make sure the cream cheese is softened so that it blends easily into the dough.
• Keep a close eye on the crackers while baking, as almond flour can brown quickly.
• The nutrition values are approximate and can vary based on the exact ingredients and portion sizes.

These keto baked cheese crackers are not only delicious but also a great low-carb alternative to traditional crackers. They’re perfect for snacking, dipping, or even serving as part of a charcuterie board. Enjoy!
